Prince of Wales's Ketchup

Take some ripe elderberries, and strip off the stalks. Fill a jar with the fruit, pour over it as much boiling vinegar as the vessel will hold; put it in a cool oven, and let it remain there all night. Strain the liquid, and put with every pint half a tea-spoonful of salt, a blade of mace, four shallots, a tea-spoonful of peppercorns, a dozen cloves, and two ounces of boned anchovies. Boil the liquid until the anchovies are dissolved, and when it is quite cold strain it, and bottle for use. This ketchup is chiefly used for fish.
